I have just recently been in the hospital and have been taking the flu every day for 12 days. In most of the time I have taken the flu and I have had nausea and/or constipation. I am taking the flu otc. It is a flu that I take twice a day every day so I have a little discomfort when I go out, eat and sleep. I am taking it daily at night and it is working well. However, I am a bit nervous and want to make sure that my symptoms do not get worse during the day so that I can continue to take it throughout the day.
I am a 35 year old male and have been taking the flu for about two weeks now. I have been experiencing constipation for about 1 year, and it has been taking the flu for about 4 months. I am starting to have some pain in my lower back, and it is affecting my ability to sleep (tinnitus). I have started to have more frequent urination, so it is possible that it is having a similar effect on my lower back. I do feel better at night, and it is definitely helping with the discomfort. I am also feeling tired and has not felt the same improvement in my back and legs.
My doctor suggested that I take the flu as soon as I feel the need. I am taking the flu otc and it does work, but it is affecting my ability to sleep. I also am getting the flu twice a day, and it is starting to work for me. I am hoping that the flu will work as well and that I can stay in the hospital until it is better. I am hoping that the flu is working to help me with the pain, but that it won't help with the constipation.
I am also taking the flu otc again. It is a flu that I take every day. I am starting to have constipation, and I am not getting the full effect. I have been feeling very tired and have not been able to sleep. I am hoping that the flu will work to help me with the constipation, but that it won't help with the discomfort. I am hoping that the flu will work to help with the constipation, but that it won't work well. I am hoping that the flu is working to help with the constipation, but that it won't work well.
I am taking the flu otc again. I am hoping that the flu will work to help me with the constipation, but that it won't work well.
I am on Cipro at this time and am hoping that the flu will work to help with the constipation, but that it won't work well.
I have been taking the flu for about 2 months now. I am very tired and have not felt the need to go out or eat. I am taking the flu otc, and it works very well. I am trying to get a better experience and I am going to take another flu otc every day and I am trying to be patient. The only difference I can make is to take it daily, it is very easy and very safe to take, and I will be taking it every day until my symptoms get better.
